Dragon God Grass, the magical medicinal herb that is rumored to be able to cure all diseases, does it really exist in the world?
But the little boy in front of him looked only about three years old, how could he know that this was Dragon God Grass? Gu Chi looked at the little boy with his head tilted suspiciously, thinking that he might have known it from his phone watch. Don’t children’s watches nowadays have Baidu function? As for the "little friends" and so on, they might be the child’s fantasy.
No wonder the man in front of me could offer such a high price to buy it out. It turns out he was hiding something he shouldn't have.
Gu Chi squatted down and stared at the delicate little girl in front of him. Her chubby little face was so pretty. He tried his best to suppress his urge to rub her and said softly, "Little guy, if what you said is true, then you have really done a great service."
"Brother, what does it mean to make a great contribution?" Xiaoyu didn't understand, but she could feel that it seemed like a very good thing.
The little girl in front of him tilted her head and blinked her big eyes. Gu Chi's mood instantly improved a lot. She smiled and said, "It was you who protected the grass and made contributions to our country. You are a little hero."
"Then Xiaoyu will make great contributions! Xiaoyu will be a little hero." After hearing what Gu Chi said, Xiaotuanzi clapped his hands happily and smiled happily, "Xiaoyu will protect the grass and make contributions to the country."
Somehow, looking at the little ball in front of him, Gu Chi felt inexplicably warm and peaceful in his heart. Is this the power of human cubs?
He stood up and resumed his indifferent expression, pulling out his cell phone. "Hello? Is this the National Medical Administration?"
"I'm sorry, the old man said he would sell all the medicinal herbs to me, so I came here first." Gu Chi hung up the phone, interrupted the man coldly, and stood in front of the old man without saying a word.
"Uncle, don't be so hard on money," the man said half-threateningly and half-coaxingly when he saw that his good deeds were interrupted by Gu Chi, "I have been taking care of your business before, and your wife is in urgent need of money. Time waits for no one, you can't just burn your bridges like this."
"Young man, you used to take care of my business and gave me a lot of money. I am very grateful to you, but I cannot lose my reputation as a human being. You take the money back and I will sell it to him." The old man pointed at Gu Chi, and with his withered hands, he handed the ten thousand yuan in his hand to the man in front of him who looked a little ferocious.
"If you think the money is too little, I can add more. Just tell me a number and I'll give it to you." The man said disdainfully.
People from the countryside have never seen the world. If you give them a little more money, they might change their minds in less than three minutes.
"Although I really want to make more money, this young man has just helped me a lot and encouraged everyone to buy my mountain products. I can't raise the price arbitrarily no matter what. Please go back." The old man said seriously.
When the man saw that the money in his hand was about to fly away, his face turned ashen with anger, his fists clenched tightly, and he stared fiercely at the handsome and arrogant young man in front of him, wishing he could tear him to pieces.
"One hundred thousand! Old man, I'll give you one hundred thousand, give me this batch of herbs."
Gu Chi stared at the man with sharp eyes. "Sir, you said these herbs are worthless, but you actually paid a high price of 100,000 yuan for them. Is there some hidden secret behind this?"
"Yes, yes, uncle. Cao Cao said that you sold all its friends to a dark place." Xiaoyu shook her head and looked at Gu Chi with a little admiration.
This handsome brother is really smart.
"Exactly. I think some people are just like weasels paying New Year's greetings to chickens. They have no good intentions."
The citizens who had been ridiculed by him also stood up and spoke in favor of Gu Chi.
When the man heard the soft, tender voice of the baby next to Gu Chi, his body stiffened noticeably. Cold sweat broke out on his back, and he could not hide his panic under his sunglasses. "I just wanted to help the old man, and you are obviously taking advantage of him by buying it at such a low price."
The dark area that this baby is talking about is probably...
He did it so secretly, how could anyone notice it? The baby already knew it, so did the man in front of him know it too?
"You bought from uncle at such a low price before, so how long have you been taking advantage of him? Why don't we call the police and let them sort out this matter?" Gu Chi was not afraid of him. He raised the corners of his eyes slightly and said lightly.
The citizens who were watching the excitement on the side were so happy at this moment. This was simply shooting themselves in the foot. This handsome guy really had some skills.
Hearing the alarm, the man's expression became even more panicked. He really knew something. In order to prevent himself from exposing more, he waved his hands repeatedly, "I'll give this batch of herbs to you. I don't want them anymore!"
After saying that, he glared at Gu Chi fiercely. The duck that was in his hand flew away. He wished he could tear the man in front of him to pieces, but he had no other choice. He could only turn around and walk away in a hurry.
"I'm sorry, everyone. These herbs are very precious and the country needs them very much right now, so we can't sell them."
After Gu Chi finished speaking, he put the things away and before the citizens could react, he quickly took the old man away.
Gu Chi stopped only when he reached a secluded spot where there were no people around. He squatted down and asked the little boy who had been following him obediently: "What's your name? Where are your family members?"
There were so many people just now, but no one came to claim the little girl. It seemed her family wasn't here. Maybe she got lost or separated... Of course, Gu Chi couldn't just let a child leave like that.
Xiaoyu replied as a matter of course: "Xiaoyu is Xiaoyu, and my family is my handsome brother!"
Gu Chi: “…”
This is still attached to him? It seems that I can only call the police to help find this child's family later.
He stood up and turned to the old man. "Old man, I have to leave now because I have something urgent to do. Your batch of herbs are very precious. Please stay here honestly. The experts from the National Medical Administration will contact you later."
"Thank you, young man..."
Before the old man could finish his words, Gu Chi had already disappeared on his electric scooter.
Huang Chengcheng looked at the videotape in his hand with satisfaction.
She recorded everything about Gu Chi's brave act just now. This trip was not in vain. Although the process was a bit bizarre, this act of subduing the scalper with bare hands and protecting rare medicinal materials is a rare social news.
Compared to those trivial matters between neighbors, this should be able to make the front page of the magazine.
——
Gu Chi rushed to the movie audition at lightning speed, almost riding his electric scooter like a Land Rover, but it was still too late. As soon as he stepped into the audition site, all eyes were staring at him.
Xiaoyu had never seen so many people before. She was so scared that she hugged her brother's legs and hid her little head behind him, carefully showing one eye to look at them.
"Oh, the big star Gu still remembered to come. If you didn't know him, you would think he was such a big star that you made the whole crew wait for you."
The person who spoke was an old acquaintance whom he hadn't seen for a long time. Gu Chi curled the corners of his lips. He didn't expect that he would also come for the audition.
Yu Huilin and Gu Chi debuted at the same time, and Gu Chi always overshadowed them. He has not made any splash since the end of the show. It can be said that he hates Gu Chi to the core.
Gu Chi knew he was in the wrong, so he said nothing and started explaining himself, "I'm sorry, Director, I'm not..."
Before Gu Chi could finish, Yu Huilin interrupted him and said with a sinister smile, "Director, he wasn't late on purpose, he just got the time wrong, so don't blame him."
The director's expression was not very good. He scoffed softly, "The audition is over. Go learn how to be a good person before you start acting."
"That's right, some people don't even know how to behave like human beings and still want to make money. I think they should quit the industry as soon as possible."
As soon as Yu Huilin finished speaking, the assistant director, who was holding his phone silently, asked, "Are you Gu Chi?"
"Yes, Assistant Director, he is Gu Chi. He is a well-known artist in the entertainment industry known for his "Five Poisons". His lateness is already a courtesy to all of us."
There were voices of discussion all around, and Gu Chi could tell how these people were talking about him without even looking. However, his expression was calm.
He had long been accustomed to these things.
On the contrary, the little girl next to him tightly grasped Gu Chi's trouser legs, blinked her big eyes, and said seriously: "What is face? Can it be eaten? But you don't look delicious."
Yu Huilin choked: "You!"
He wanted to say something else, but the assistant director scolded him harshly, "Why do you always interrupt others when they are talking?"
"Lao Lin, take a look at this video."
The director frowned tightly and took the assistant director's phone with a grim face. A video of Beicheng Life Gang was playing on it. The young man who subdued the old ox with his bare hands with clear logic and agile movements was standing right in front of him.
“Is that you in this video?”
Xiaoyu immediately forgot her fear and said crisply, "It's my brother. He's so awesome. He even helped Grandpa drive away the bad guys."
The director's expression relaxed a lot. He looked at Gu Chi twice, then couldn't help but look at Xiaoyu beside him, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
The cute little girl is so adorable and even cuter than in the video. With his years of experience, he can tell that this is definitely a cute baby who will go viral!
He was deeply moved by her bold and heartwarming courage to stand up and protect her brother. If her parents agreed, he really wanted to give her a role in the movie.
